Got home from work last night and didn't feel like going inside so the curb side of the trailer got a bath and clay barred. Will do the roadside wash and bar Friday evening.

Couple more minor mods done......

I wanted an outlet on it's own circuit to run an electric heater. I had two extra slots in the breaker panel, so I ordered a tandem breaker ( in case I need another circuit later ) and wired an outlet into the cabinet next to the dinette.







Also ordered an A P Products thin shade door window to replace the frosted looking window in the door of the camper. I've always hated that window !

Amazon Amazon

Went from this....





To this...

Definitely one of my favorites, put one on the front and rear doors when I was only going to do the front.

Alas, as a bachelor, and father of my Doberman and Lab Mix I'm lucky to have the time to take the boat to the lake this Monday.

Any Ohioans on here take their camper up to Maine? I will be taking my family to Old Orchard Beach June 10th to 17th. Just curious if anyone knew how the drive there was. I have a 05 with the V10 and this will be our first long tow.
